Integers in number systems with positive and negative quadratic Pisot base

Abstract: We consider numeration systems with base

and

, for quadratic Pisot numbers

and focus on comparing the combinatorial structure of the sets

and

of numbers with integer expansion in base

, resp.

. Our main result is the comparison of languages of infinite words

and

coding the ordering of distances between consecutive

- and

-integers. It turns out that for a class of roots

of

x^{2} - m x - m

, the languages coincide, while for other quadratic Pisot numbers the language of

can be identified only with the language of a morphic image of

. We also study the group structure of

-integers.
